The recycling center is also seeking a laborer helper for maintenance and planting at the facility.
Job opportunities extend beyond the summer as well. The Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens and community centers hire year round and are always seeking staff to help manage the front desks, maintain the facilities and support day-to-day operations.
